Thrive received a grant from Kansas Health Foundation to focus on resident-led initiatives in La Harpe, Kansas. La Harpe residents: you shared your dreams with us and we're working with you to make them happen! This gentleman, Ross Umholtz, told his story of his 50+ years in La Harpe and is excited for the work that is about to come from this grant. Ross' words of wisdom: "Don't give up." #realtalks #REALLaHarpe #residentled #allencultureofhealth #togetherwethrive

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever in Kansas
Dove Hunting OpportunitiesThe Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) will provide several local dove hunting opportunities beginning Saturday, September 1st.
Grand Osage Wildlife Area (former Kansas Army Ammunition Plant):
Three sunflower fields were planted in April for the purpose of attracting mourning doves. Staff are optimistic about the potential to attract large numbers of doves this coming season. Sunflowers have reached maturity, are free of weeds and doves have been consistently using all fields since early August”.
Saturday, September 1st
The Grand Osage Wildlife Area will have a 20-acre sunflower field available to dove hunters September 1st. The field will be open to the general public. Access to the field will be by attended gate, located at 23050 Scott Rd., just east of Parsons, KS. Hunters will be escorted to fields. Hunters will be allowed access in the gate from 5:00 am until 8:00 am. Legal shooting time begins at 6:22 am. If hunting pressure is heavy, an additional sunflower field may be opened to hunting.
A 20-acre field will be set aside exclusively for youth hunters age 16 years and younger. The hunt begins Saturday at 4:00 pm. All youth must be accompanied by a mentor which is also allowed to hunt. The hunt will take place Friday evening September 1, starting at 4:00 pm. Hunters will be allowed through the gate beginning at 3:30 pm.
Sunday, September 2
A 3rd field will be open to dove hunting Sunday morning beginning at 5:00 am. This 20-acre field will not be hunted opening day and should have good dove numbers. Same gate and access procedure as opening day.
Saturdays, Sept 8 and 15
Additional dove hunts will take place the mornings of Saturday Sept 8 and 15. Three fields will be open to the general public at that time. Gate will open at 5:00 am. Over the past two years, hunter success has been very good following a week of rest from hunting.
Access restrictions prolong dove use on the fields, providing potential to harvest doves over a two-week period. Providing short duration hunts with time to rest the doves, has significantly extended dove use and opportunities for hunters the past several years. Non-toxic shot is required for all dove hunting on the Grand Osage Wildlife Area.
Big Hill Wildlife Area
Three sunflower fields, approximately six acres in size each, are available to dove hunters at the Big Hill Wildlife Area. Hunting allowed September 1st with no special access or time restrictions. Two of the fields are located on Ford Rd and the 3rd is located on 19000 Rd. All field entrances will be signed several days prior to September 1.
Non-toxic shot is required for all dove hunting on the Big Hill Wildlife Area.
Hunting license and HIP stamps are required by all hunters age 16 to 74 years of age. Shotguns only, and incapable of holding more than three shells. Doves may be taken in flight only. Limit of 15 mourning doves per day. No limit on Eurasian collared doves.
No pre-registration is required for dove hunts. Hunters are required to complete dove harvest information following the hunt. A dove banding project is active. All area hunters are encouraged to check the legs of harvested doves for bands.
